Product Description
-------------------
Echium seed oil has a unique omega-3-6-9 makeup that makes it
superior to other commonly available oils such as flaxseed.
Echium seed oil is rich in a special form of omega-3 called SDA
that is much more easily converted to EPA and DHA - the active
long-chain omega-3s in fish oil that offer brain, heart and eye
benefits. In comparison with flaxseed oil, echiomega
echium seed oil generates 60 percent more omega-3 EPA in the
body. Echium seed oil is also rich in s typically sourced from
other y oils. Echium contains the 'good' omega-6 GLA, for
which evening primrose oil is sought after, as well as the
omega-9 oleic -the principal in olive oil that is
consumed in large as in the Mediterranean diet. Offering an
optimal balance of omega-3-6-9, Echiomega is an excellent
source of -enhancing good s. Echium seed oil is the
ideal tional supplement for those who are vegetarian, vegan
or ic to fish, to help boost the levels of the important
omega s in the diet. Each box contains 60 s, providing
a 1-month supply at a daily dosage of 2 s.
Indications
-----------
Indications Echiomega contains approximately 73% polyunsaturated
ty s, of which 26% are omega-6 and 47% omega-3. This
optimal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 1:1.8 makes it an ideal oil
for nutraceutical application. Echiomega is also the highest
commercially available source of SDA, a unique vegetarian omega-3
ty that has known benefits for immune function and for
regulating inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, as the direct
precursor to EPA, SDA can synthesise up to 5 times more EPA than
ALA alone, making Echium Seed Oil a superior alternative to other
-derived oils such as flaxseed or hempseed oil. EPA is a
very important ty that plays an integral role in the
proper functioning and structure of the brain. EPA may improve
the cardiovascular system by reducing the stickiness of platelets
in the blood and by lowering blood pressure. It is also converted
into prostaglandins (hormone-like substances which control many
bodily functions) and leukotrienes (important for the correct
functioning of the immune system) which regulate inflammation and
pain, and also help to maintain y joints. The ty
GLA is vital for the structure of the brain – it ensures that
cell membranes are permeable, thus contributing to efficient
brain function. GLA is the precursor to di-gamma-linolenic
(DGLA), which is converted into prostaglandins that regulate
inflammation, pain, blood clotting and fluid balance.
Furthermore, oils that contain both SDA and GLA raise EPA levels
significantly better than oils that contain SDA alone. Oleic
, usually associated with the ‘Mediterranean diet’, has been
shown to slow the development of heart disease by lowering total
cholesterol levels and raising levels of high-density
lipoproteins (HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol), whilst lowering
low-density lipoproteins (LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol).
